Not sure where to go once you arrive into Cairns?

We have made a pretty cool list of places that are a must, when visiting Cairns.  Of course, a rental car from Bargain Wheels will make your travel plans so much more convenient while you are there, so jump in your hire car and head to the following –

GBR – short for Great Barrier Reef. This underwater playground is listed as one of the seven natural wonders of the world.  Here’s some trivia – did you know that because it is full of living organisms, it is the only living thing that can be seen from space?  In some areas it is 65 kms wide.  But why so much fuss about the GBR?  It is one massive coral garden, and an abundance of sea life call it home.  For a diver this is heaven.  But you can enjoy the reef a number of ways.  Contact one of the local operators that do day tours for either diving, or sailing and there are a number of companies that also allow you to experience the Great Barrier Reef from the air.  Definitely a must do when visiting Cairns.

3,2,1 … Bungy

When AJ Hacket Bungy arrived in Cairns the locals didn’t know what to expect. A purpose built tower was erected on the edge of the Rain Forest and they planned to offer tourists and visitors the opportunity to jump off of it, saved only from certain death by a big rubber band. Now Queenslanders, particularly in the Far North, are well known for calling a spade a spade and to be blunt most exclaimed “Who are these bloody idiots”. What’s more, the AJ Hacket team planned to charge those who jump, for the pleasure. Well, the rest is history and after 17 years, literally thousands of jumpers have taken the plunge off the 50 metre platform. And take it from someone who has done it, if you can stop the trembling in your knees long enough to look up, then you might just get to see one of the best views Cairns has to offer … after that … 3, 2, 1 Bunnnnnggggyyyyyy

Kuranda Scenic Railway

If you enjoy train rides then you will like the Kuranda Scenic Railway . If you like scenery, then you will love this trip and even if you like shopping you will really enjoy this trip. If of course you don’t like any of these things then just sit back for 1 1/2 hours and enjoy the 34 kilometres as the 100 year old railway climbs more than 300 meters through tropical rainforest, delves through 15 tunnels, bends around 98 curves and tip toes precariously over 40 bridges. Then you might imagine how many blisters were caused banging in all those sleeper nails.

Skyrail Rain Forest Cableway

Skyrail is the World’s Most Beautiful Rainforest Experience. A 7.5km cableway, Skyrail glides just metres over the canopy of Australia’s World Heritage listed Tropical Rainforests. Two mid-stations, Red Peak and Barron Falls, provide the perfect opportunity to explore and learn more about this ancient environment on boardwalks and at the Rainforest Interpretation Centre.

Kuranda Village in the Rainforest

Whether you travel by train, Skyrail or take the short 25km drive from downtown Cairns, you’ll be glad you came. The Village is home to Museums, Art Galleries, Cafe’s and Restaurants, as well as famous Kuranda Markets . Enjoy the locals hospitality and experience Kuranda’s history and indigenous culture.

White Water Rafting

WOW … nothing beats the adrenalin rush of White Water Rafting. Forceful water hurtling man and raft downstream … over, between, around and sometimes through the many rocks and boulders. Of course you are given a helmet and a life jacket, but even still it’s the experience and safety focus of a good river guide that really makes the day and gets you back in one piece. No one puts on a better day than RnR White Water Rafting on the Tully River. Operating since 1986, RnR has established a reputation synonymous with safety, service and above all, fun. The best part about rafting on the Tully, compared to other spots I have rafted, is that the water flow is a controlled release rather than reliance on the melting snow … what does this mean to you … well for a start, you don’t need to wear a 7ml wetsuit.
